A friend sent me a nice note recently that his wife had made these pumpkin pancakes for dinner, and that they were thoroughly enjoyed by all. I always appreciate those kinds of messages, especially since they often serve as a reminder for doing seasonally appropriate recipe re-posts.

This was the week pumpkin made its yearly appearance into my life. On restaurant menus, on television, in store windows, on neighbors’ steps, and all over our living room…and dining room…and kitchen…and, well, you get the idea. So, to celebrate the beloved American gourd, I decided to rerun this tasty winter treat. Enjoy!

I love this recipe. Thanks Chef. When I was a kid my Mom always cleaned up the jack-o-lantern and baked it to make pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. This is the season to buy cheap pumpkin and its easy to bake them, then mash and freeze in 1-cup baggies for pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, pie, and these fantastic pancakes.

Made these this morning. They were delicious! Son likes cheaper pancake syrup, I like real deal maple. Made a 1/2 and 1/2 combo and microwaved it till just warm. Perfect breakfast! With bacon of course. (-:

How much more pumpkin puree can I add if I want more than a hint of pumpkin taste? I want to make these but I want to have pumpkin pumpkin pancakes without the texture being too compromised. Thank you for uploading so many great recipes. I won't ever forget the day I found you on YouTube. You inspire so many people to just cook with confidence and style!

I live in the middle east so I have the advantage of 10 hours of time difference to try your delicious recipes before anyone else... I love your idea of pumpkin pancake. could I use beet root puree for the same recipe instead of pumpkin??? the pancake color will be amazing for Christmas morning breakfast or for valentine day ...

I'm on this low sugar/low carb kick (yeah, it sucks I know) and I can totally make these using flax meal and coconut flour and subbing sugar free syrup for regular. I just got REALLY excited about Fall. Thanks for sharing (again) Chef! =D

Please THINK OUTSIDE the box, so we see a lovely pancake on the box? What form could it be potentialy? Waffle, Belguim waffle, waffle on stick, aminal shape waffle? You been taught breakfast, lunch & supper ... think beyond that ...!

I guess I am trying to say is RECOGNIZE THE PRINCIPLE. Ie. skyscrapers all look different, however; they all use the same steel gridder, nuts and bolts.

The best recipe is the one in your gut! I study tons off recipes, but the one I use is THE RECIPES THAT FLOES B OUT OF YOUR GUT.

How about some granche on those waffles or powered sugar or frosting colored by koolaide power: colors, flavors are unlimited choices!
